Week 3 Flashcards
define rhizoids
long thin cells that are anchored into the ground and absorb water and minerals
what is the capsule?
contains sporangia which release spores
what is the stem and leaves function?
it is the site of photosynthesis
what is the seta
to hold up the capsule
what are some characteristics of Bryophyta?
- Needs water for reproduction
- found in swamps, marshes, near streams and rainforests
- no water conducting tubes
- lack protective surface to decrease evaporation
- lack of true roots but has rhizoids
- Life Cycle- alteration of generations (haploid gametophyte and diploid)
What Phylum has a capsule, seta, stem, leaves, rhizoids, sporophyte and gametophyte
Bryophyta (moss)
What phylum has Blades, a Gas Bladder, a Stipe, Holdfast, and a Frond
(Red, Brown and Green) Algae (marine plants)
What is the Stipe and which Phylum does it belong to?
It’s a stem-like structure to support Algae plants
Whats the function for the Gas Bladder. Which Phylum does it belong to?
to keep blades buoyant. Belongs to Algae
What is the blade and which Phylum does it belong to?
it is a leaf-like structure and is the site for photosynthesis. this phylum belongs to the Algae
what is the frond and which phylum does it belong to?
it is the algae and tracheophyta’s full area of photosynthesis
what is the holdfast? what phylum is it in?
root-like structure to anchor/help the algae attach to the ground.
what are some characteristics of the Algae
- photosynthetic
- lives in aquatic environments
- no internal tubing for water or nutrient movement
- unicellular
- has chlrophyll
- sexual and asexual
1N means and 2N means
1N = Haploid 2N = Diploid
What is the male structure in gametophyte for Bryophyta
Antheridium
What is the female structure in gametophyte for Bryophyte
Archegonium
